Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves of £4,379,525 exceed the trustees' stated minimum policy target of £3 million. The charity is solely dependent on KPMG LLP for funding, a risk the trustees acknowledge could cast doubt on longer-term financial security if support ceases, though current resources are deemed adequate for the next twelve months.
